I got a lot of push-back on a comment I made here about how bigger trucks/suvs are the primary cause the increasing pedestrian death-rate in America so apparently more people need to see this video.

I'm a huge NotJustBikes fan, but I hate how this, of all his videos, is the one that gets the traction in forums.

I mean, sure, big trucks suck -- but it's not as if small ones don't! The fundamental cause of all these deaths (and a bunch of other big problems, to boot) is cities being designed for automobiles to the exclusion of everything else, and quibbling about the size of them is nothing but a distraction.

It’s a good intro into more anti car and urbanism forums. This video is catchy. Why not? If somebody liked it they can watch more of his content.

When's the last time you saw a "small" truck? Even the "small" ones like Rangers and Mavericks outsize the F150 from a couple decades ago.

I continue to maintain that trucks should be restricted to industrial and agricultural use and/or be prohibitively expensive for noncommercial purposes.
